Editorial Preface (Spencer H. MacCallum) I MET E. C. RIEGEL in New York in 1953, on a visit up from Princeton where I was an undergraduate. "Uncle Ned, " as his intimates called him, was a friend of my grandfather, Spencer Heath, and both were residents of Greenwich Village. Occasionally they would meet at the apartment of Mr. Riegel's friends, Major and Mrs. Ivan Firth. Here I met him, some months before his death. He suffered from the effects of Parkinson's disease, which made him appear older and more frail than his 74 years. My grandfather regarded Mr. Riegel as a genius for his understanding of the nature and functioning of money as a human and social institution. It was clear, however, that this old man had not revolutionized the world with his ideas and could not now do so. The idea formed and grew in my mind that I should keep in touch with Mr. Riegel and the Firths, who were not much younger than he, in order to preserve his papers from being lost after his death. As to what might be done with them, I had no idea at the time. An intuition told me that they should be preserved. 2 When "Uncle Ned" died some months later, his papers went to his friends, Ivan and Gladys Firth. I kept in touch with the Firths through my grandfather for the next ten years. Then, in 1963, in the same year that my grandfather died, Major Firth died also. Gladys decided to move from her small apartment to still smaller quarters; moreover, it had been Ivan and not she who had understood and valued "Uncle Ned's" ideas. The papers were at the point of being discarded. Here was the moment I had foreseen. I paid Gladys Firth five hundred dollars for Mr. Riegel's intellectual estate, and in moving from her apartment, she did an excellent job of collecting together every scrap of paper that related to him. With the papers safely in my possession, there was no pressure of time to look into them, and ten more years went by. With the papers had come a small stock of soft-cover books, The New Approach to Freedom, published by Mr. Riegel in 1949. I passed some of these to friends. Within this circle was Harry Browne, who was so much impressed with Mr. Riegel's explanation of the free market that he caused some excerpts to be reprinted and circulated. Years later, he mentioned it favorably in his best-selling book, You Can Profit from a Monetary Crisis -- and there is where this story really begins. As a result of its mention in Harry Browne's book, a flurry of mail orders came in which threatened to put The New Approach to Freedom out of print. I decided to reprint it, and this seemed a good time to look into Mr. Riegel's papers to see if there might be some other material that should be included in the new printing. I began by sorting what correspondence had survived and arranging it chronologically, and reading it. I be- came completely absorbed. Toward the last years, there began to be mention in his letters of a book-length manuscript, Flight from Inflation, I tried to finish the correspondence in the orderly fashion I had started out, but gave it up and plunged into the other papers to see if the manuscript would be there. It was. I read it through with mounting excitement, sometimes having to get up and walk around to work off superfluous energy so that I could go on reading. Except for the statistical data and illustrations, the book was not in the least dated, Not only was it not hurt for having lain undiscovered for twenty years, but in the light of world events, its relevance was more immediate now than when it had been written. I determined to bring it into print. Could it be a commercial success? Perhaps not. How could one promote a book that was more than twenty years old and written by an unknown author who was no longer around to be interviewed and do all of the endless things that go into a successful book promotion? On the other hand, the sheer human interest and the factual circumstances, together with the substance of the book, might lend itself to a different kind of treat- ment. Here was a man who had devoted his life idealistically to understanding money, although he never had any of it nor any interest in acquiring it-a man who had died, alone and old, in a cold-water flat in New York City, working painfully to the end to complete a manuscript which then lay unsuspected for more than twenty years until it was timely for it to be discovered. An unmailed letter from the last months discloses how he had worked painfully, trying to hit the right keys of his old typewriter and unable to make corrections because he could not control his shaking hands to make legible pencil marks on the paper. I began a light editing of the manuscript, then did more, and then some more, as my interest in the subject matter grew and deepened with a careful reading of his other writings. In time, I engaged a talented friend, George Morton, to try his hand at improving the structure. He took me at my word, reorganizing the structure and cutting it drastically. It was excellent pruning. I then grafted into the restructured manuscript new materials-fresh expressions and amplifications of his ideas-drawn from the rest of Mr. Riegel's papers consisting of a number of books and more than 150 essays. Editing Mr. Riegel's work was an audacious task for one without any formal training in economics. I was trained in social anthropology, however, and had an appreciation for social systems and institutions. As an anthropologist, Mr. Riegel's analysis of the institution of money strikes me as elegant. Doubtless it will be 3 debated whether the subject of his analysis is properly called money. Whatever the conclusion of that debate, however, there can be no doubt that he has analyzed an important feature of advanced exchange systems. I personally find with Mr. Riegel that money is the apt word to describe this phenomenon, which represents the culmination of a developmental sequence in the history of exchange. Those things now commonly called money are prior steps in that progression. I would regard the steps also as money, but money in its less developed forms-primitive money. Mr. Riegel's concept differs so strikingly from conventional ideas of money that it will be painful reading and mental adjustment for some people. Yet that may be one of the great and lasting values of this book-that it provoked its readers to think fundamentally about a subject that has long been taken for granted. There is so much in Mr. Riegel's papers that did not find its way into either The New Approach to Freedom or this volume, that I should like to offer the reader in this Preface some of the perspective I have personally gleaned from studying the rest of his papers-perspective on Mr. Riegel as a person as well as on the development of his thinking. Mr. Riegel's sense and grasp of individualism was intuitive and unerring. It was not a retreatist or “go-it- alone” philosophy; he was fully aware that individualism flourishes best in a rich social context. He had a balanced perspective on the healthy interdependence of individuals and institutions-at least, those institutions which are voluntary and nonpolitical. His unfailing principle was that freedom of exchange is the foundation of all freedoms. To enlarge exchange is to liberate the individual; to circumscribe it is to enslave him. The crucial question for him, therefore, was to discover which institutions have the effect of freeing exchange and which have the effect of restricting and narrowing it. His final conclusion would be that the single most restraining influence on freedom of exchange is our presently socialized monetary system. On the way to that conclusion, however, he was to pass through a number of steps. In the 1920's, he crusaded against restrictive credit practices; a theme explored and developed in The Credit Question, written in 1926, and in a provocative little essay, "Infidelism In Business. " In 1928, he incorporated The Consumers Guild of America, which continued into the 1940's, when it was succeeded by The Valun Institute for Monetary Research. The purpose of the Consumers Guild was to simplify buying and raise the dignity of the consumer, and it opposed anything that would suspend or restrain the consumer's right of bargain.

Spruce Street #48 Deming, New Mexico 88030 915-261-0502 [email protected] Acknowledgments Frances Norton Manning, the author’s friend of many years and hostess in Santa Ana, California, brought him together with Chapman College and proposed these talks be given there. President of the College John L. Davis became a warm friend and sponsored the series. Edward McCrady, Vice Chancellor of the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, is well remembered for his inspiring friendship and intellectual hospitality. Spencer Heath had spent the academic year 1954-55 as his guest at Sewanee, auditing advanced courses in theology and building on his vision of the Christian doctrine of man while deeply enjoying the warm, Southern hospitality of the entire University family. Dr. McCrady at the time was writing his book, Seen and Unseen: A Biologist Views the Universe, which harmonized with Heath’s own thinking. Heath well might have dedicated these talks to Dr. McCrady, perhaps in such words as To the living spirit of Edward McCrady and all who seek understanding of the non-political, organic society of men, the Mystical Body of Christ. 3 4 Contents Acknowledgments Editor’s Remarks 7 THE CHAPMAN COLLEGE TALKS Preface 15 Prologue 17 The Free Community and Its Transcendent Function 21 Property and Its Productive Administration:

I teach first grade and those students can't learn to read effectively unless they have guided reading on a daily basis. I am also very concerned that opening with a full-time traditional schedule is being considered. This would be ignoring the state and federal recommendations of social distancing. Putting 25-30 students in a small classroom sitting side-by-side at desks or on the carpet would not allow 6 feet between students. Here is my proposed schedule: 1. All classes would be split in half with half of the students attending from 8-11 and the other half attending 12:30-3:30. 2. Students would attend Monday - Friday with Monday being a shortened schedule for collaboration. Students could possibly attend 8-10:30 and 12-2:30 on Monday.
